Networking Basics

Check your IP address

After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server

(i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.

Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK.

At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.

This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the

default gateway of your adapter.

If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation,

security settings, and the settings on your router. Some

firewall software programs may block a DHCP request

on newly installed adapters.

If you are connecting to a wireless network at a hotspot

(e.g. hotel, coffee shop, airport), please contact an employee or administrator to verify their wireless network settings.
